ice-capades has stated that the date at the bottom of the window sticker changing means nothing other than that a new window sticker has been generated.

Is the wench a good cook?
I’ve been wondering if she’s a good looking wench, as I’d probably offer less if she’s plain looking. Being a good cook and housekeeper would be a plus. ?

Just Google Flood Ford extended warranties.
-
There will be folks here that will give you the names of dealers that sell extended warranties and maintenance plans at prices significantly lower than what you’ve mentioned. I don’t have those dealer names stored in my older memory. Also, be aware that you have until right before your basic bumper to bumper warranty expires on your new truck to make a decision on this. Don’t let your dealership finance person rush you into something without having time for proper research and consideration before making the investment. My $.02.

Just a question. Does anyone know how I would get my email attached to my order. I ordered my truck through the sales manager. When I asked him if I could get my email attached to my order, he said he has never heard of that. If possible, could someone please let me know how this is accomplished.
I order a F350 Lariat ccsw back in Sept and haven't heard a word on the progress.
When I see these kinds of posts, it makes me wonder if these sales people are stupid, lazy, or if there might be something malicious in them not wanting to do these things that are part of their job. When I ordered our truck, I remember the salesman asking for our email address and it being the last information he needed to input before submitting the order to Ford. He even had me write it down for him on scratch paper to make sure he got it right. Subsequently, I received the order confirmation email from Ford before we shook hands and I left his office. I believe this is the way things are supposed to work.

Ok need some info... as you see above my sticker had 2/9 I assumed from reading post on this site and others that it was going to production then it changed to 2/17 -meaning it was built.
I heard back from dealer and they said it just went into production on the 17th not the 2/9 date. I'm not sure what to believe???
Thank you in advance for your insight
It’s been stated many times on this forum that the date on the bottom of the window sticker has no significance, other than that’s the date that the window sticker was generated. Whether that’s good news for you or not, I don’t know.

Check out Bradford Built. Very heavy duty and loaded with great standard features. I bought a new one for our Dodge 3500 dually in 2003, and it’s still in great shape, except for the powder coat finish, but it’s a ranch truck. According to their website, they’ve improved their painting procedure, and warranty it for three years now. I highly recommend their USA made products.
-
Any particular reason for wanting to shut it off? I find it useful, but that’s just me.

Extang Trifecta 2.0 Signature. Nice, heavy duty canvas cover, good price point, American made with lifetime warranty, easy on and off.
-
Our new truck is for retirement as well, and will be the last we ever buy. A big reason for buying it now was as a hedge on inflation. If we'd had to finance it, we wouldn't have it.

Why not just set the light switch so that the amber LED clearance lights are always on when the truck is running?
-
Check out Thunder Struck. I don't have a bumper, but do have one of their grille guards that I like very much. Very stout and heavy duty, and retains factory tow hooks. I bought ours finished in zinc primer and had it painted to match the new truck. Hopefully that offers better long term finish durability than what I've experienced with powder coating.

Like some of you guys, I’m a big believer in timely oil and filter changes, some say anally so. I’m driving my first brand new truck, a beautiful F250 Lariat and she’s just rolled over the 1000 miles, so can anyone tell me that if I ask him nicely, Mr Ford will change all oils and filters for free please?
Any obvious answer to this question has evaded me despite scouring reams of paper and dozens of posts.
TIA
In my experience, dealers may offer all kinds of good will gestures when selling a new vehicle, but these things are usually specified when the deal is made or closed. If you ask politely and nicely, the worst they can do is say no. When I bought a new car in February of 2014, they offered the first two oil change service jobs free of charge, but it was part of closing the deal. The dealer is 130 miles from home, so they gave me enough oil and filters for the first two changes, and I had my regular home town car care center do the work. I was plumb happy with that. When we bought our new Super Duty in August of this year, the salesman gave us $250.00 credit in their parts/service department, again part of closing the deal. I assume they do that with every new vehicle sale, but I don’t know that for a fact. Haven’t used any of that credit yet, we’re still using the FordPass points. Oh yeah, 1200 miles on the new truck with no towing, so I guess I followed what the manual says, and it’s broke in. -
Our dealer is in a town of 9000 in NW Nebraska, and the only new car dealer in the county. We ordered our new truck on April 16, and it was delivered on August 11. By my observations, this was good as it got at the time. When I placed the order, the salesman told me they had an allocation of one 22 MY Super Duty, and that we got to use that allocation. I look at their website weekly, and as far as I can tell, our new truck is the only 22 MY vehicle they’ve received at this point. So, I feel like there was a lot of luck and timing involved, but I feel very lucky and blessed to have received our new truck as quickly as we did, and that working with a small dealer in a small town worked greatly in our favor.

Thanks for the helpful pictures. Our truck is mostly a garage queen so there was no hurry whatsoever. I need to take a look at ours for better perspective as I’ve not done much of anything with that center front seat. Thanks again!!
-
Ours does the same thing, but I don't think any worse than I'd expect when everything is cold and the engine running at high idle. It seems to be what I'd call pretty normal after everything's warmed up, and I'd think it will probably get better with further break in. Our truck is at 1200 miles currently. My $.02 FWIW.
-
This looks like something I'm interested in too. Can you tell me something about how it's fastened and held in place? Thanks!!

Order guide is a most excellent reference.
Ok, I get that the order guide is a most excellent reference, and, idiot that I am, I obviously misspoke when I stated that it wasn’t available when I placed the order for our new truck. I’ve learned an awful lot from this forum, and the FTE forum, but unfortunately I wasn’t even aware of these forums until a couple of weeks after I placed the order, and couldn’t get any information from our salesman and went to searching on the internet. This is when I first learned of order guides. Prior to that, everything I knew came from the Ford Build and Price website. Some of the information on that site is sketchy and incomplete. Thanks!!

I don't believe that the 2022 order guide was out at the time I placed my order. I know you couldn't build and price a 2022 truck at that point. I guess we just don't want to take what shows on the build and price as accurate information, although you'd think it would be. We have a car with the feature, and I can take it or leave it. And I don't like the part where it will try to take control from me, that stays shut off. At any rate, why would they show it as a model highlight on XLT trim when it's not? Just sayin.....
-
On the build and price website it shows Lane-Keeping Alert as a model highlight on the 2022 F250 Super Duty XLT. So, I’ve been a little confused on how to make this feature work on our new truck. I’ve dug through the owners manual with no success and finally went back to the build and price website where I’ve surmised that you have to go clear up to the King Ranch trim level before this feature is actually available. Although this is a feature that I can live without, the seemingly misleading advertising information is still disappointing and frustrating. Anyone else experience this with their new XLT?

What exactly is the purpose of a Chase Rack? Not really comparable to a headache rack as the rear glass is wide open and unprotected. Just wondering?
-
I have Husky Liners mud flaps for ours, but haven’t had time to install them yet. I will also hang some bigger mud flaps under the rear bumper to protect the front of the trailers.

Our truck was ordered and confirmed on 04/16/21, and was delivered on 08/11/21, nineteen days before the earliest estimated ETA date. Estimated ETA date never changed.

Here is the program number I gave my dealer for the rebate
- $300 Xplan rebate #91728Ford calls this “Built for growth AXZD Plan customer cash”
Any idea when this rebate began? I picked up our new truck last Wednesday and specifically asked the salesman if there were any new incentives. I can’t find anything on the internet about this rebate.
